To all whom it may homer n lie it known that I, Ross .N. CLANIN.citidiana, have inventedcertain new and useful lmprwements inDoor-Fastenings, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to door fastenings, and particularly to hinges,hasps, and like door hardware intended for mounting and seruring doorsin place.

in object is to provide a fastening including a plate having a screw tobe turned into a door or adjacent jamb to secure the plate in place, andin constructing a portion of the plate to retain the parts against beingturned to withdraw the screw.

A further object resides in constructing the fastening in two parts, oneof which is to be secured on the door and the other upon the jambadjacent thereto, which parts are to be connectedfitogether.

With these and other objects in view which will be apparent from thedrawings, specification andclaiins, this invention includes certainnovel features of construction and combinations of now be set forth.

In the drawings:

In the embodiment of my invention with a hasp structure a base plate 1is provided for the staple and a base plate 2 for the hasp member. Thestaple 3 is secured on the face of the plate 1 and hasp member a ishinged at one end of base plate 2. The remaining end or" plate 2 andboth ends of plate 1 are cut or shaped to provide the sharp angles orpoints 5, substant1ally as shown in Fig. 5. These points are bentandshaped, as best disclosed in Fig. 2, to provide spurs 6 and 7, on baseplate 1 and spur npplicationjfil'e d June 30,

A securing screw 9 is'carried centrally on the inner side of plate in)project therefrom, and a securing screw 10 issimilarly' located on plate2. j

-In the use ofthis form of my invention plate 1 will be secured uponeither the door or door jamb and plate 2 will be secured upontheremaining member. The pointof securing screw 9 is made to penetrate thewood of the member on which plate 2 is to be secured and this plate isturned to cause When maximum penetration has been secured and plate 2 isdrawnagainst the door or jamb member the plate is adjusted to properlyposition staple 3 and hammerblows aredirected against spurs 6 and thebent ends of "the plate cause the spurs to sink into the wood as shownin Fig. 6, and thusthe plate is held against being turned to witpointthat will fit volved to turn screw .10 into the wood.

The plate members 11 and 12 have ends bent and shaped intointerfitting bearing portions adapted to receive a loose butt 13, theouter ends of the plates being shaped as shown in Fig. 5, and being bentto provide spurs 1 1 and 15. Plate 11 has a screw 16 on the inner sidethereof and a screw 17 is provided on plate 12.

In mounting the hinge in place the butt 13 is removed and be revolved toturn screws 16, and 17 into the wood of a door and jamb to secure theplates in place, spurs 14 and 15 being driven into the wood to retainthese movement todisaline the bearlng portions or to loosen the securingscrews. The bearing portions are then fitted together and butt 13 isinserted through the alined openings thereof. If desired this loose buttcan be headed over at its lower end to prevent removal.

While, in the foregoing, I have described specific embodiments, and havementioned the two plates may then plates against only certain' possiblemodifications, it will be appreciated that in'practice I do not' limitmyself to such, specific details as here in set forth, but may resort toany practical modifications falling within the scope of the invention asdefined in the appended claims.
